Fast becoming one of the region's premier races, the Saipan Marathon is shaping up to see a record number of participants for its 10K, half-marathon, marathon and 50K courses. With recent years seeing around 800 runners from an array of countries, the Marianas Visitors Authority has capitalized on the event to generate international publicity. Last year's event garnered coverage by five television stations and two magazines from Japan, as well as two magazines from Korea, that were on hand to cover the race.
